libertangoHere are two images:
One shows a campaign stunt from 1988. Another shows a campaign stunt from a few days ago.
In one, the press roundly tore the campaigner to shreds for his fakery, despite the fact that he seemed to be a hopelessly earnest person who may well have been just trying to learn something.
In the other, the press praised to the skies the acumen of the campaigner, despite his showing utter contempt for the fighting men and women of the Navy ship that had been at sea for the longest deployment in US history by holding them back from their loved ones for 48 hours so he could get a personal photo op. This leaves aside the issue of his sincerity, given his record of dodging wartime service.
Can you tell which is which?
Curse that liberal press!
